Our annual Diocesan Discernment Cycle begins each Lent with an Introductory "Vocations 101" course.  This course is open to any and all lay people, deacons, and priests in the DRG and beyond.  Each session includes time for prayer, a brief topical presentation, and small group sharing.  In this introductory course  we explore our basic understanding of Christian Vocation in the Episcopal Church.  Over the course of five 90 minute sessions, we explore how the particular vows made in three different  services from our Book of Common Prayer: the services of Holy Baptism, the Ordination of a Deacon, and the Ordination of a Priest, can shed light on particular aspects of the shared vocation of all Christians, and help us begin to see our own unique vocations, as individual members of Christ’s Body, more clearly.  

Note: This course is for ALL people (at every stage of life and in every order of ministry) who feel called to deepen their relationship with God and their vocation in the church and in the world. It is also the "starting place" for individuals who may be sensing a call towards ordained ministry in the Diocese of the Rio Grande and wish to enter into a formal process of discernment.
